Our Wedding

Meet the Couple

Ashley grew up on the west coast and has lived in Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington. In her spare time she loves to play tennis, do puzzles, try new restaurants, and hyperfixate on new hobbies she quickly loses interest in. Josh grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia and is a die hard UVA fan. Anyone who knows Josh can tell you that some of his favorite things include Orioles baseball, his fish tank, and his PS5. Ashley and Josh met during their first year of law school at the University of Richmond. They connected playing flag football and later spent the whole night talking at the school holiday party. Having enjoyed each other’s company, they quickly became inseparable (like “two balls in a sack” as Josh would say). The couple loves to take roadtrips to new cities. Some of their favorite places to travel together are Manteo, North Carolina and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When they aren’t traveling, Ashley and Josh stay in and cuddle up on the couch with their pets Eve, Eddie, and Goose. After the years they have spent together, Ashley and Josh are excited to take the next step in their relationship and continue to build their lives together.
